Rice fans are definitely still bitter about former coach Todd Graham bolting for in-state conference rival Tulsa. In case you can’t remember in his first year (2006) at Rice, Graham turned a 1-11 team into a 7-5 team that played in the New Orleans Bowl. After the success of 2006 season Graham received an extension and declared his intention to stay at Rice for years to come. Days later he bolted for Tulsa.

This weekend when Rice played Tulsa the Rice Marching Band’s halftime show was a big fuck you titled “Todd Graham’s Inferno“. The whole thing is hilarious and should be read in its entirety.

4th Circle: Franchione in Hell

We thought we might find Todd Graham in the fourth circle with the greedy and the avaricious, but he was nowhere to be found. However, we did find his shredded Rice contract — leading like breadcrumbs into the inferno — and there, gathering the pieces, was Dennis Franchione.

Hands down The Mob are the best damn band in the land.

1. Mizzou – Booger Daniel is tearing it up.  If he played at ND or USC he would be the Heisman front-runner right now.  I would be more optimistic about their chances against Oklahoma if they didn’t let Kansas score 21 in the 4th quarter.
2. WVU – I really wish the ‘Eers and Hokies  still played every year.  I was going to rank WVU and OSU both at 3, but because WVU pounded Miss St and ordered lists in wordpress don’t support this I put WVU at 2.
3. Ohio State Continue Reading “Money Shot Rankings Week 13″ »

WSB is Atlanta is reporting Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey has been fired. Rambling Wreck fans must be jumping for joy. Over the last six years Gailey only won 1 division title (then lost in the conference championship game to Wake Forest) and never beat rival Georgia. Aside from the blank-faced sideline poses my fondest Chan Gailey moment was in 2005 when Georgia “Fake” Tech was able to knock off Miami and send Virginia Tech to the ACC title game.  Gailey is the perfect example of an NFL head coach who never “got” the college game.

Regular posts are on their way.

Researchers at the University of Texas have found college students drink more on football game day more than any other day. No shit Sherlock. Massive alcohol intake is at the very core of what makes college football such a great sport. Without alcohol none of the following high points of college football would be possible: beer balls, drunken arguments, collegegameballs.com, pranks, begin an obnoxious fanatic, tailgating, etc…

The researchers found students were especially likely to drink more during high-profile games against conference or national rivals.

During my senior year at VT we closed out at home with UVA. I remember waking up at 8:00am to begin slamming yuengdogs for a noon kickoff. My girlfriend had invited her friend who was a senior at UVA to the game. By the time we arrived at Lane Stadium I was in the zone. After every score I would turn towards her friend and scream “Fuck UVA”. Then I would run up the bleachers to where some more UVA infiltrators were sitting and push them around and give them the finger. After we ended up dominating 24-10 my girlfriend asked her friend if she was wanted to go out to a couple of parties. Her point blank answer was, “I don’t want to go out with the most obnoxious person in Blacksburg.”

Alcohol + College Football + Rivalries = Awesome + Taunting of girlfriend’s butter-faced friend.

1. LSU – Hands down #1, but how will The Hat handle the Michigan questions.
2. Missouri – Chase Daniel is money.
3. Kansas – They haven’t really beaten anyone, but I think the Big 12 is a solid conference and they have been waxing teams as of late.
4. Georgia – Wouldn’t they deserve to play in the National Championship if they make it to the SEC Championship and beat LSU…?
5. West Virginia
6. Ohio State
7. Oklahoma – How hard would they have dominated TT w/ Sam Bradford?
8. Boston College – Matty Ice was able to pull another one out of his ass at Clemson.
9. Virginia Tech – Watching the Hoos get crushed will be a nice start to my Saturday.
10. Oregon – It sucks to lose your best player and Heisman front runner.  Oregon versus LSU would have been very entertaining.

Unfortunately I am out of town for Thanksgiving so I am unable to post any signs myself. However, you can check out these sites to get your fill of college football signage.

Gameday Signs will return next Sunday. Holler.

Michigan – The Big Ten is officially a one team conference after Ohio State took another win over Michigan.  Lllloyd Carr is confirmed to retire at his Monday morning press conference and every headline should read, “Carr Retires, Tired of Tressel Putting it in His Ass”.  Henne and Hart could only put together 112 total yards in a season fueled by beating Ohio State.  Go Big Blue.

Miami – A text message I received on my phone during the game pretty much sums it all up, “remember when Miami was good?”  Damn, it has been a long time since Da U has been a respectable force in college football.  Minus two rushing yards is spectacular. Continue Reading “Game Balls Week 12″ »
